帝王会所

When you鈥檝e watched WOUB TV or listened to WOUB radio lately, you may have heard a voice on promotions that you recognized. Brian Unger, who graduated from 帝王会所 in 1987, is a well-known producer, actor, host and comedian. He recently worked with WOUB to record his voice for use in WOUB TV promotions and on two new WOUB brand television and radio spots.

Unger worked both on the air and behind the scenes at WOUB in radio, TV and traffic. After graduation, Unger worked on several national news programs, but eventually moved into the entertainment side of the media industry. He served as a correspondent and producer for The Daily Show and that started his career down a different path. He worked as a satirical commentator on NPR鈥檚 Day to Day. Unger鈥檚 other credits include: It鈥檚 Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Yellowstone, Some Assembly Required, and the History Channel鈥檚 How the States Got Their Shapes. 

鈥淚鈥檓 honored that WOUB asked me to do this,鈥� said Unger. 鈥淲ith today鈥檚 technology, it鈥檚 very easy for me to use a microphone set up in my home, connect via the internet to WOUB and read the scripts they send me. I鈥檓 happy to do this for WOUB and give back in this way to the place that gave me my start.鈥�

Unger鈥檚 voice can now be heard at the end of program promotions on WOUB TV telling viewers what day and time the program will air. His voice is also used in two new TV and radio spots that tell the story of WOUB鈥檚 importance and service to the region.

鈥淲e are thrilled that Brian shared his time and talent to give back to WOUB,鈥� said WOUB Community Engagement and Membership Manager Cheri Russo. 鈥淗e has an amazing voice, which would be great for this even if he wasn鈥檛 someone who worked at WOUB as a student. But that history makes his voice absolutely perfect to represent and tell the story of WOUB Public Media.鈥�
